To enroll your child in Cub Scouts, follow these steps:

1. **Find a Cub Scout Pack:**
– Locate a Cub Scout pack near you. Our pack has no requirement for what school the child attends or anything of that nature.

2. **Contact the Pack:**
– Reach out to the pack leadership. You can find contact information on the pack’s website, through local community resources, or by contacting your local Boy Scouts of America (BSA) council. For more information or assistance joining our pack click here.

3. **Visit a Meeting:**
– Attend a pack meeting or event to get a sense of the program. This provides an opportunity to meet leaders, ask questions, and see how Cub Scouts operates. We meet every 2nd and 4th Tuesday from 6pm to 7pm at Hutto United Discovery Methodist Church. It is located at 350 Ed Schmidt Blvd., Hutto, Tx 78634.

4. **Complete the Registration Form:**
– Obtain a membership application form (often called a Youth Application) from the pack leadership or the BSA council. Fill out the form with your child’s information. Click here to register.

5. **Submit Required Documentation:**
– Provide any necessary documentation, such as a copy of your child’s birth certificate, health and medical information, and contact details.

6. **Pay Membership Dues:**
– Pay the annual membership dues. The pack treasurer or another designated leader will guide you on the payment process.

7. **Receive a Uniform and Handbook:**
– Once registered, your child will need a Cub Scout uniform and handbook. The handbook outlines the requirements for each rank and provides information on Cub Scouting.

8. **Participate in Den and Pack Activities:**
– Engage with den and pack activities. Dens are smaller groups within the pack, typically organized by grade level. Attend den meetings and pack events to start your Cub Scout journey.

9. **Attend Parent Meetings:**
– Attend parent meetings to stay informed about pack activities, policies, and volunteer opportunities. Parent involvement is encouraged in Cub Scouts.

10. **Engage in Advancement:**
– Encourage your child to participate in activities that contribute to rank advancement. Cub Scouts earn badges, learn new skills, and progress through ranks by completing age-appropriate requirements.

11. **Stay Connected:**
– Stay connected with the pack through communication channels such as newsletters, emails, or social media to stay informed about upcoming events and announcements.

Remember that joining Cub Scouts is a family commitment, and parent involvement is encouraged. If you have specific questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to the pack leadership. They are typically more than happy to guide new families through the enrollment process and help them get started on a rewarding Cub Scout journey.
